How to Disable multiple users in Exchange 2007

In what form do you have them in? A list by username?
There are ways to do it in Exchange Powershell. Usually you'll require the (LDAP/OU, sorry - mind blank) format like:
CN=Firstname Surname, OU=Staff,DC=domain,DC=lan.
I think you can do it by sAMAccountName too.

get-content d:\data\users.txt |get-aduser |set-aduser -enabled $false

I used this cmdlet:

Import-Module -Name ActiveDirectory
$users = Import-Csv C:\PS\DeleteUser.csv

Foreach ($user in $users)
{
#The header of CSV file must contain "alias","email","company","Resigned OU
Get-DistributionGroup | where { (Get-DistributionGroupMember $_ | foreach { $_.primarysmtpaddress } ) -contains $user.email } | Remove-DistributionGroupMember -member $user.email -Confirm:$false
Disable-Mailbox -Identity $user.alias -Confirm:$false
Set-ADUser -Identity $user.alias -Enabled:$false -AccountExpirationDate (Get-Date).AddDays(1) -Company ('EX'+'-'+$user.company) -Confirm:$false
Get-ADUser -Identity $user.alias | Move-ADObject -Targetpath $user.ou -Confirm:$false

Thanks for all your answers.

The only thing i have is a txt with the email accounts .

I will have a look for all your solutions you gave me and see what fits me .

Rancy the command you gave me works but i take an error that says " Cannot find an object with this identity xxx@mail.com under DC : xxx " 

This error is correct as the command looks for domain names and not mailboxes .

Any ideas ?

Thanks

Is it happening for all users or just few accounts ?

If for few accounts you have to make sure they their information is correct ..

You can use -Server "FQDN of the DC"

Hi

As i said the problem is that i have only a txt file with the mailboxes.

Lets take for example the mailbox 1stop@xxx.gr
This mailbox has a username in the domain 1stop_xxx

So with the command we try we get an error that i thing its normally to appear because it read's the txt , it gets the mail 1stop@xxx.gr and its searching in the domain for account 1stop@xxx.gr and that is wrong.

Am i right ?

Thanks

Yes ... if you have multiple domains you need to run there ...... reason being that Domain partition are different so one domain object cannot be modified from a different domain .... maybe until the account we use to run could be Enterprise with elevated rights :)

For this you could try with the -Credential switch.
